I love quick breads. Well, I should say I love bread in general. I made my first batch of yeast bread when I was in my teens. And, the love of making bread continues. But there is something about a sweet bread that is easy and fast to whip up.

This bread is perfect for a slice in the morning or a slice of dessert, it works great either way. Also, the bread is moist and loaded with the flavor of cinnamon.

Helpful Tips:

  • If you don’t have buttermilk you can use one cup of milk minus one tablespoon and one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon.
  • Don’t over mix the bread batter. Over mixing will cause a tough bread.
  • Use shortening or non-stick cooking spray for greasing the pan, butter likes to burn so it is not a good choice.
  • Check the bread 10 to 15 minutes before the baking time is complete to check for doneness. If the bread is browning too quickly cover with foil to prevent over-browning.
  • Use a wood pick to check for doneness. If the pick comes out clean the bread is done.
  • When done remove from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, after the 5 to 10 minutes remove from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack
  • Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to three days, if longer it can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.
  • The bread can be frozen in the freezer for up to three months. For best results cover with plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag.

    I love quick breads, too! I mean they’re usually just cake in a pan, so what’s not to love about ’em? 🙂 I also love all things cinnamon, so I know this bread would be a huge hit here in our house!
